The purpose of the proposed repeal of Rule 12A-1.0141, F.A.C. (Equipment Used to Deploy Internet Related Broadband Technologies in a Florida Network Access Point; Refund Procedures), is to remove obsolete provisions which provided the administrative requirements to obtain a refund of previously paid tax on equipment purchased by a communications services provider necessary for use in the deployment of broadband technologies in Florida. This refund of previously paid tax was authorized in Section 37, Chapter 2000-164, L.O.F., and was scheduled to be repealed on June 30, 2005. The Legislature has not reenacted these tax refund provisions. The effect of this rule repeal will remove this obsolete rule from the administrative code.
